Hello to all…
..A moderate plowable snowstorm is likely for much of Southern New England late Monday Night into Tuesday Afternoon..
..A Winter Storm Watch is now in effect from Monday Evening through Tuesday Evening for Western Franklin, Western Hampshire and Western Hampden Counties of Massachusetts for the potential of 5-8″ of snow. Areas outside of the Winter Storm Watch area have the potential to receive 3-6″ of snow except for areas of Southeast Massachusetts and coastal areas where 2-4″ are possible as snow may mix with and change to rain and precipitation across portions of Eastern Massachusetts may be lighter than areas west of this region..
